Before cooking ribs, marinate them in KRAFT Dressing in the fridge for up to 24 hours to add delicious flavor and help tenderize them before cooking.

Before cooking ribs, rub them with a dry spice rub for a perfect way to add flavor to leaner ribs, such as baby back ribs.

How to Grill Ribs

When grilling ribs, think “low and slow!” Grill ribs slowly on medium heat to avoid burning and to help keep them tender.

When grilling ribs, plan on a cooking time of 1 hour to 1 hour 30 min., depending on the size and type of ribs used.

To speed up the cooking time when grilling ribs, simmer the ribs in boiling water for 20 min. before adding them to the grill. Then, brush ribs with your favorite KRAFT or BULL’S-EYE Barbecue Sauce and grill 10 to 15 min. or until sauce is caramelized, turning and brushing occasionally with additional sauce.

When grilling ribs, the indirect method of cooking is the best method to use. This means the ribs are not cooked directly over the heat source. If using a gas grill, turn on only one side of the grill. Or, if using a charcoal grill, push the charcoals to one side of the grill. The covered grill then acts like an oven.

How to Cook Ribs in the Oven

When cooking ribs in the oven, place ribs on rack of a broiler pan. Brush with KRAFT or BULL’S-EYE Barbecue Sauce, then bake at 350°F for 1 hour 15 min. or until ribs are done, turning and brushing occasionally with additional barbecue sauce.

Ribs are not just for grilling. Try our recipe for Braised Ribs for a simple recipe for cooking ribs on top of the stove.
